Did you say what I think you said... Teachers who failed those tests
are now employed as teachers OR were you trying to say that the
testing filters out those who failed?

If you're actually saying that people have to take a test more than
once to pass are not qualified..... OK. Think about anything else -
like the driver's exam. You fail, you study... hopefully you pass the
next time. Does the fact that you passed on the second try make you
less qualified to drive a car? Look at all the lawyers who didn't
pass their law exam the first time.... would you say they shouldn't be
practicing law now?
